UN General Assembly Adopts Resolution on ICC [1]
On November 11, 2021, the UN General Assembly, after discussing the report (to be issued as document A/76/PV.31 [3]) submitted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), adopted a resolution (to be issued as document A/RES/76/5 [4]) that called upon non-signatories of the Rome Statute to consider joining the signatory parties. According to a UN press release [5], the Assembly asked states parties to “adopt national legislation that will implement their obligations and work with The Hague-based Court to carry out its functions.” The resolution also mentioned the importance of implementing the Rome Statute’s Relationship Agreement [6], and cooperating with the ICC especially concerning arrest, surrender, evidence, and witnesses.
